Check out the layers panel

In the Layers panel, each layer is labeled with the name of a blur from the Blur Gallery. Attached to each layer is a mask.

For this exercise, you will use the images only and not the masks in each layer.

Click on the image

Click the Tilt-Shift layer in the layers panel, making sure to click on the image not the mask. When the image is selected in the Layers panel, you can apply a blur to that specific image, and not any other.
